LEARNZ provides comprehensive support for all registered users.

PLD Webinars and Web Conferences

Field trip Webconferences (formerly Audioconferences)

Note: For the webconference timetable for a field trip, go that field trip and click Webconferences on the left-side menu and you will see the times for taking part live and links to the recordings. To take part live, use the the same instructions as below.

Teacher PLD Sessions

An invitation to attend a free PLD training webinar for teachers is emailed out to enrolled teachers in advance of each trip. These webinars (web conferences) go over how the field trip will operate and provide a chance for teachers to put questions to the LEARNZ Teacher and also suggest specific topics they would like to see covered. The webinars use the same platform, Zoom, as the webconferences (formerly audioconferences) during field trips. Dates for PLD webinars are included on the LEARNZ Events Calendar and also described in detail below.
